New BBC ALBA series follows life of minister's wife in Tain

Bean a’ Mhinisteir (The Minister’s Wife) is a new six-part series on BBC ALBA which follows the lives of three very different ministers’ wives – including Mairi MacAulay, who is starting out as a minister’s wife in Tain.

For Mairi this is the beginning of a new chapter in her life as she, Alasdair and their young family adapt to life in the manse.

The other two wives featured are Ruth Rankin, a dynamic young community arts officer for the Church of Scotland, who is married to Rev. David Rankin. And whose parish is in Gracemount, Edinburgh; and Jo Moir, who is married to Captain Stephen Moir, a Salvation Army officer. However, as well as being a minister’s wife, Jo is also an Army Captain herself.
